What time is it anywhere in the world?

Whether you're asking "what time is it in New York?", checking the current time in London, or need the local time in Tokyo, Sydney, Dubai or Los Angeles — this world clock gives you the exact time right now, updated every second. Each city shows its live local time, weekday and date, UTC offset, and how many hours ahead of or behind you it is.

Time zones and UTC offsets

The world is divided into time zones measured as offsets from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). New York runs on Eastern Time (UTC−5, or UTC−4 during daylight saving), London on GMT or British Summer Time, Central European cities like Oslo, Paris and Berlin on UTC+1/UTC+2, India on a single zone (UTC+5:30), and Australia spans three main zones from Perth (UTC+8) to Sydney (UTC+10/UTC+11).

Time difference between cities

Knowing the time difference between cities matters when you call family abroad, schedule a meeting across continents, follow a live event or catch a flight. A call at 9 AM in London reaches New York at 4 AM — but it's already 2 PM in Mumbai and 6:30 PM in Sydney. The world clock above makes these gaps visible at a glance, including which cities have already moved into tomorrow.

Daylight saving time (DST)

Daylight saving time (DST) shifts clocks forward in spring and back in autumn in most of North America, Europe and parts of Australia — but not in India, Japan, China or most of Africa and Asia. Because the changeover dates differ between countries, the time difference between two cities can change twice a year. Every clock on this page follows the official IANA time zone database, so the times you see are always correct, even on the days the clocks change.

World clock & time zone facts

How many time zones are there in the world?

There are 24 standard hourly time zones, but in practice around 38 distinct UTC offsets are in use because several countries use 30- or 45-minute offsets — India is UTC+5:30, Nepal UTC+5:45 and parts of Australia UTC+9:30.

What is UTC and how does it relate to GMT?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the global time standard all time zones are defined against. GMT is the time zone used in the UK in winter; for practical purposes GMT and UTC show the same time.

Why do some cities show tomorrow's or yesterday's date?

When it is evening in Europe, it is already the next morning in Sydney and Auckland. The world clock always shows the actual local date in each city, so you can see at a glance who is in a different day.

Does the world clock handle daylight saving time automatically?

Yes. Every city uses the official IANA time zone database — the same database your phone and computer use — so clocks spring forward and fall back on exactly the right dates for each country.

Which city is first to enter a new day?

Kiritimati (Christmas Island, Kiribati) at UTC+14 is the first place on Earth to see a new day. Of the cities listed here, Auckland and Fiji are among the first.

What is the time difference between New York and London?

New York is normally 5 hours behind London. For a few weeks each year the gap is 4 hours, because the US and the UK change their clocks on different dates in spring and autumn.
